But, the objecting church has organised a beef dinner, with proceeds to go to the Museum, as an alternative fund-raiser.
You must need arthroscopic surgery on your knees by now, what with all that jerking and all…

This is what jumped out (from behind a pumpkin!) at me in the article:WDM used to host a family-oriented haunted house years ago. However, the event tended to scare children, so the museum quit that activity.

We Christians stand for Christ and the Gospel. That’s what we do. Just because several Christians peacefully objected to it, the Museum still had the freedom to go ahead with their plan. I’m sure the attendence would not have suffered.

I’m with Harry Houdini on the topic of seances, and nowhere in my 2-sentence comment did I say or imply otherwise. My point was that instead of just simply condemning (or, as per Seanbot, threatening), those who took offence offered a constructive alternative.
And is this the time to hum “Carrot Juice Constitutes Murder”???

Nice counter example, Barb. You’re right. I was jumping to conclusions. Because of course, when someone kicks off a post with “We Christians stand for Christ and the Gospel.” then later jumps the “it’s not like anyone threatened to blow shit up” shark, that must have been what he had in mind.

Pauly D, when it comes to Christians- admit it: You and your staff can’t help but spew ignorant, confused, hot, nasty, devilish and twisted hate (best example- your Easter addition of Prairie Dog 2010). Is this your retarded way of reaching out and trying to influence your readers against Christ?

Find another job, because if this is what you do best you’ve already failed.

Barb went in on you hard, and your replies just go to show how confused you are on dealing with the subject without showing how deep your prejudices really are.

I’ve been reading your columns and posts for quite a while. And it is obvious that your radical beliefs conflict with the values and mores of every major religion.
